[…]Can even an individual manager start measuring and managing differently, and therefore be a driver of change in a complex system like capitalism? As we see it, managers have three choices. They can simply play by the rules—and game the measurement system to the extent possible.

They can emulate the small company, gathering support from like-minded people.
